3. X Factor Finalists You Are Not Alone
4. Mariah Carey I Want To Know What Love Is
5. JLS Beat Again
6. Britney Spears 3
7. Madonna Celebration
8. Mika We Are Golden
9. Girls Can't Catch Keep Your Head Up
10. Little Boots New In Town
Editor's note:
Interesting to note Danyl Johnson's bellendedness making an appearance in this category too. Regarding your eighth worst video of 2009 many of you made reference to 'Mika in his pants' and 'paedo Mika in kid's bedroom', while the low opinion of Keep You Head Up and New In Town suggest that Girls Can't Catch and Little Boots might have struck a little early with their embrace of tramp 'n' rubbish dump chic.
SACK OR AT LEAST FINE THE STYLIST
1. Cheryl Cole
2. La Roux
3. Lady Gaga
4. Whitney Houston
5. The Saturdays
6. Kelly Clarkson
7. Madonna
8. JLS
9. Britney Spears
10. Adam Lambert
Editor's note:
Poor old Adam Lambert — he can't even dress badly well.
LEAST LIKELY TO BE ANY USE IN THE EVENT OF A WORLD WAR
1. Leona Lewis
2. Britney Spears
3. La Roux
4. Kanye West
5. Cheryl Cole
6. Dappy N‑Dubz
7. Little Boots
8. Mariah Carey
9. Pixie Lott
10. Susan Boyle
Editor's note:
It is the opinion of the editorial 'team' behind Popjustice.com that Dappy N‑Dubz WOULD in fact be useful during a war. We imagine he would assume the role of "forces' sweetheart" and tour army camps, singing emotional songs and being bummed flat by sex-starved soldiers.
ARTWORK FAIL
1. Cheryl Cole 3 Words
2. Adam Lambert For Your Entertainment
3. Peter Andre Revelation
4. Rihanna Rated R
5. Kelly Clarkson All I Ever Wanted
6. Girls Aloud Untouchable
7. Depeche Mode Sounds Of The Universe
8. Mariah Carey Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel
9. Madonna Celebration
10. Joss Stone Colour Me Free
Editor's note:
In all fairness she does look like she's on her way to the funeral of a beekeeping naturist.
BEST AWARDS CEREMONY
1. The Brits
2. The VMAs
3. The AMAs
4. The EMAs
5. The Grammys
6. 'None of them'
7. The MOBOs
8. The NME Awards
9. The Mercury Music Prize
10. The Q Awards
Editor's note:
The best bit of the Brits was when 'Horne & Corden' dressed up and danced behind Kylie LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!! (Except it was actually so shit that Kylie was lucky its almighty shitness didn't end her career there and then.)
MOST DISAPPOINTING ALBUM
1. Cheryl Cole 3 Words
2. Rihanna Rated R
3. JLS JLS
4. The Saturdays Wordshaker
5. Leona Lewis Echo
6. Alexandra Burke Overcome
7. La Roux La Roux
8. Little Boots Hands
9. Florence And The Machine Lungs
10. Mika The Boy Who Knew Too Much
Editor's note:
Some people have said that Cheryl Cole's album could never have met expectations. Which is obviously bollocks because it could quite easily have met expectations by pulling off the not exactly difficult trick of 'having better songs on it'.
BEST COMEBACK
1. Whitney Houston
2. Rihanna
3. Robbie Williams
4. Shakira
5. Annie
6. Black Eyed Peas
7. Pet Shop Boys
8. Shirley Bassey
9. Lily Allen
10. Jay‑Z
Editor's note:
Whitney Houston won this category by a huge margin, which is slightly odd considering only about thirty people voted for her album or single in the relevant categories. What could it all mean? (Not very much — Ed)
POPSTAR MOST LIKELY TO IRON A SHIRT BADLY
1. Mariah Carey
2. Robbie Williams
3. Calvin Harris
4. Amy Winehouse
5. Dappy N‑Dubz
6. Lady Gaga

4. Cheryl Cole
5. Westlife
6. Black Eyed Peas

Phwooaarr right lads????
WILL MAKE SOMEONE A GOOD HUSBAND OR WIFE ONE DAY
1. Kimberley Walsh
2. Leona Lewis
3. Joe McElderry
4. Little Boots
5. Taylor Swift
6. Heidi Range
7. Susan Boyle
8. Will Young
9. Lady Gaga
10. Dannii Minogue
Editor's note:
The concept of making someone a good husband or wife seems to have been interpreted by many voters as 'most boring popstar', but what's most shocking is just how many voters gravitated towards Kimberley from Girls Aloud. Very odd.
WORST LYRICS
1. Britney Spears 3
2. Cheryl Cole Fight For This Love
3. Sugababes Get Sexy
4. JLS Beat Again
5. Madonna Celebration
6. N‑Dubz I Need You
7. Miley Cyrus Party In The USA
8. Pitbull I Know You Want Me
9. David Guetta feat Akon Sexy Bitch
10. Ke$ha TiK ToK
Editor's note:
You've got to be pretty bad to beat "when I'm walking down the street they say hey sexy" or "every day ain't gonna be no picnic, love ain't no walk in the park". And, to be fair, Britney's '3' was indeed pretty bad.
MOST ANNOYING FACE
1. Danyl Johnson
2. Lady Gaga
3. Cheryl Cole
4. La Roux
5. Louis Walsh
6. Miley Cyrus
7. Simon Cowell
8. Mika

10. John and/or Edward
Editor's note:
Say what you like about Danyl Johnson's face, there can be no doubt that it is annoying.
And that, readers, is that for another year.
Thanks for your votes, and we look forward to seeing you back here in about 11 months from now.
